The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 8 Jiang Ziya who learns to cook

After a period of fermentation, Qi Yuan's reputation became more and more famous.

Because at the very beginning, he portrayed himself as a person who was looking for more food for the human race without fear of hardships and dangers, and walked the wilderness. In fact, he did guide people to know more things that can be eaten.

Of course, the most important point is that he taught people how to make more convenient cooking utensils and how to use more seasoning materials, including the reasonable combination of some medicinal materials and ingredients, which can not only improve the taste of food, but also ensure rich nutrition .

In fact, people in this era have gradually improved their pursuit of food, and have successively explored methods such as boiling, pickling, steaming, and roasting. Common pigs, dogs, chickens, sheep, cattle, and horses have long been available. Buffalo and deer have been domesticated.

In particular, people often hunt on a large scale, using nets to catch all kinds of prey, from elephants and rhinos to various small and medium-sized animals, etc., there is almost everything that one expects to find, and even some rare things can be seen from time to time, such as similar The Jiaolong killed by Sanshan Pass.

After eating all kinds of meat such as elephant and rhinoceros that he had never eaten before, Qi Yuan finally saw people's extensive hunting for food. He didn't believe that the people in Sanshanguan would give up such a big dragon and not eat it. .

After Huang Feihu, Qi Yuan got acquainted with some court ministers who came here to visit.

It has to be said that the ancients valued reputation very much, and the reputation Qi Yuan built up during this period was enough to attract some ministers from the DPRK and China to come and make friends.

Some people with strong financial resources who are willing to make friends with him will also give him some rare ingredients from monster beasts. After trying it himself, Qi Yuan found that these monster meats contain powerful vitality, and eating them is very beneficial to the body.

After all, the human race has not been the protagonist of the world for too long, and all kinds of creatures emerge in endlessly on the prehistoric land.

Therefore, to a certain extent, it opened Qi Yuan's eyes, but he is a professional chef after all, and creating new dishes is also an ability that a chef should have, so these are not difficult for him.

Under Qi Yuan's unselfish teaching, the food culture of this era has suddenly developed by a huge leap forward, making the entire Chaoge City and the people in the vicinity have an upsurge in exploring more delicacies. The frequent trading of ingredients also made Chaoge City more prosperous in a short period of time.

Therefore, when the reputation is big enough, especially those who have gained practical benefits after learning from him, they are also willing to sing praises for Qi Yuan.

As a result, people gradually spread him from the image of a respected elder to a generation of sages.

That's right, a sage.

Although Qi Yuan is far inferior to the ancient Shennong's achievements in tasting hundreds of herbs, his courage to travel the wilderness to find ingredients, coupled with the fact that he has taught people various skills during this period, greatly improving people's quality of life, is enough. Known as a sage.

Of course, a certain thick-skinned old man would never admit that he had really spent time walking the wilderness alone, and it was only a day if he tried his best.

Nowadays, there are not many people who are widely praised as sages.

Even Xibohou Jichang inherited the efforts of generations of his ancestors, and he devoted himself to the virtuous corporals and made great efforts to govern Xiqi. He spent decades developing Xiqi, and that's why he was called a great sage by the people of Xiqi.

However, Qi Yuan only had a good name in a short period of time. It has to be said that a certain respected old man secretly played a great role in guiding public opinion and often deliberately creating a positive image on some occasions. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a big momentum.

Of course, his reputation is only spread around Chaoge, and it will take a long time to spread to farther places.

Just when Qi Yuan was happily enjoying people's flattery, he met an unexpected person.

Looking at the old man with white beard and white hair in front of him, Qi Yuan was stunned.

"Jiang Shang, you said your name is Jiang Shang?"

"That's right, it's Jiang Shang."

Qi Yuan looked at the elderly couple in front of him, especially the old man named Jiang Shang, and it took him a while to recover.

This is really nowhere to be found, and it takes no effort to get it.

Originally, I planned to find an opportunity to secretly inquire about Jiang Ziya's whereabouts, to see if he came to Chaoge, so that I could have a relationship with him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya himself delivered it to the door today.

After some conversation, Qi Yuan knew the reason why Jiang Ziya and his wife came to him.

It turned out that since Jiang Ziya went down Kunlun Mountains to join his righteous brother Song Yiren, even though he married his wife under Song Yiren's Zhang Luo, he was disgusted by his wife Ma Shi who had nothing to do all day long. He was afraid that Song Yiren would lose his livelihood after his death, so he told Jiang Ziya to do something. make a living.

But Jiang Ziya is not born to do business, no matter what business he does, he will suffer a mess.

First, they sold the fences, but none of them were sold. Later, they sold noodles with the help of Song Yiren, but it was also unsuccessful. It happened that Qi Yuan’s reputation spread in Chaoge City, and Song Yiren intended to let Jiang Ziya be the owner of the winery. To make a living, Ma decided to ask Jiang Ziya to learn cooking skills from Qi Yuan, so as not to lose the business again.

It was only because he was afraid that Jiang Ziya would not be able to speak and learn skills, so Ma Shi came here in person.

Qi Yuan looked at Mrs. Ma, thinking that this is the 68-year-old girl with yellow flowers?

Hey, it's really embarrassing for Song Yiren to find Jiang Ziya such a wife who matches his age.

How is it like me, in the previous life, I only held hands with other girls a few times. As for this life, it is not as good as Jiang Ziya, whose hair is all white, but he hasn't gotten a wife yet.

Let go of the emotion in his heart, and after understanding the meaning of the two people in front of him, Qi Yuan nodded, and said with a compassionate look on his face: "There is no problem in learning art from me, and there is no need to prepare any training ceremony. What they do is for the general public to live a better life, not for their own self-interest."

With a thick old face, Qi Yuan forced himself to be noble...cough, and publicized his noble character to Jiang Ziya again. Hearing that, Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up, Qi Yuan was very satisfied with the excitement of meeting a great sage.

"Well, so be it."

Qi Yuan said to Jiang Ziya: "I think you are not young anymore, and you live far away. It is too hard to go back and forth every day. I still have vacant rooms in this yard. Go back and clean them up. You will be here for a while. Stay with me."

"Thank you so much sir."

Jiang Ziya thanked him happily.

Although he is well-versed, he is not willing to let him run nearly a hundred miles back and forth every day, so he is very grateful for Qi Yuan's care.

"but."

Qi Yuan frowned slightly: "You have also seen that these people outside are here to learn from me. If everyone asks me to provide ingredients, I don't have the ability, so what is needed during the learning period? You can only prepare by yourself."

It's okay to learn crafts by yourself, but there are too many people, and Qi Yuan doesn't have huge financial and material resources to supply the ingredients that so many people consume every day, let alone all kinds of cooking utensils.

Jiang Ziya said hastily: "When we came, brother Yi had already prepared it."

"That's good."

Qi Yuan ordered several young disciples to clean up a house for Jiang Ziya for him to live in.

In this way, in the next few days, Qi Yuan, while teaching Jiang Ziya various cooking methods, also planned to teach Jiang Ziya dark cooking methods very maliciously, which would make him feel more fulfilled.

Of course, at the same time, he did not forget to show off his acting skills often. When he had nothing to do, he showed his lofty and upright sentiments in front of Jiang Ziya, and he received many praises from Jiang Ziya.
